...bring converts into the Apple tent. Besides, if all goes according to plan, merely by surviving Apple could grow into other areas. Jobs believes the shake-out in the computer industry will result in Apple's being one of four computer makers left standing. The other three? Compaq and/or Hewlett Packard, Dell and Sony. The rival he's pursuing most aggressively is Sony, which not only makes stylish computers ("They copy us like crazy!") but also makes plenty of digital lifestyle products. "I would rather compete with Sony than compete in another product category with Microsoft," he says. That...

He's CEO of LEGEND COMPUTER, the most profitable PC maker in a market in which sales will grow 25% this year. Liu says he learned it all from Hewlett-Packard and IBM, but he aims to best them.

Full-service companies like BGS also face a threat from upstart software firms that are providing clients with content-management tools to go it alone. Hewlett-Packard, for instance, licenses software from GlobalSight, based in San Jose, Calif., to manage translation for its hp.com websites in 72 countries. And for its multilingual tech-support sites itrc.hp.com) HP uses software from Uniscape, based in Sunnyvale, Calif. HP hires its own free-lance translators for both sites. It retains control of its "translation memory," the database of proprietary language that has already been translated. "Leaving it in the hands of a vendor...
